Aamir Khan – Jackie Chan to star in ‘Kung Fu Yoga’

MUMBAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China has spelt good news for the Indian film industry.

In a casting coup of sorts, Chinese film regulators have announced that Indian actor Aamir Khan and Jackie Chan will be starring together in a movie titled Kung Fu Yoga. The movie, which will be co-produced by India and China, is being touted as a perfect combination of Chinese martial arts and Indian culture.

As was reported by Indiantelevision.com earlier, Khan was in China to attend the premier of his blockbuster movie PK. The dubbed Chinese version of the movie is slated to release across 3500+ screens in China on 22 May.

China will also co-produce another movie with India titled Da Nao Tian Zhu (Causing Havoc in India). The movie will be the directorial debut of Chinese film star Wang Baoqiang.

As was reported earlier, India’s Eros International and Chinese Film Corporation entered into a co-production deal for a film titled Da Tang XuanZang (Monk XuanZang). Wong Kar Wai will be the executive producer on the movie.

The three film co-productions were jointly announced by China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) and the Indian Embassy in China.
